Chapter 562: Teeth and Claws
Lu Xiyi knew what she was going to say, but she sighed quietly, slightly raised a pair of curved daisies, enjoying the fresh air of the garden, and now it was mixed with the resentment that Bai Lan brought from her heart.
"What is the eldest prince like in the palace on weekdays, everyone knows in their hearts that these words will inevitably reach the ears of the emperor, how difficult it is to sit on the throne of the prince, but sister don't worry, Yuan Jia and Wuwu will definitely not be candidates for the crown prince."
Lu Xiyi preemptively gave her a tranquilizer, she knew that most of the women in this harem were swordsmen in order to survive, and how many women's children in this palace had slipped off before they were born.
And Bai Lan also knew it, and under the faint shadow of the light in her eyes, she showed a trace of melancholy, and when she heard Lu Xiyi say this, she was also a lot more relieved.
"This palace knows that my sister has been in the palace for so many years, and she has always kept to herself, but I don't know what the emperor is thinking......"
Bai Lan naturally knew that the emperor would not set up the two princes of Wuwu and Yuanjia as the crown prince anyway, after all, they were not his biological sons, and this palace maid had already had a tongue and discussions, if it reached the emperor's ears, she might not know how violent it would be.
As soon as the picture turned, in the imperial study, Shui Gonggong sent the best ink from the Southern Dynasty, this ink had a faint musk fragrance, and the whole study was diffused.
"Your Majesty, if you are tired, go to the Heavenly Pavilion to rest."
Qi Yan squinted his eyes slightly, and his unpredictable emotions like stacked clouds slowly relaxed, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.
"Tourmaline Palace, how's it going?"
Father-in-law Shui paused, his face showed joy, "The second prince went to visit Concubine Xi a few days ago, and then left with a few jars of good wine, but to say that these two princes are really powerful, Concubine Xi has never touched these things before, but the slave heard that Concubine Xi used to make wine." ”
Concubine Xi Niangniang brewed a good wine, the old people in the whole palace knew it, only some newcomers had never heard of it, looking at Concubine Xi's noble and indifferent expression on weekdays, she didn't dare to think that she was actually a person who was willing to make wine with her own hands.
"I haven't drunk her wine for a few days, and I don't know if she has prepared one for me."
Qi Yan's bottomless pupils revealed a hint of complexity, I don't know how many nights, he had fantasized about talking with Lu Xiyi really heart-to-heart, and under the moon, each other's true feelings were revealed.
But when she gradually woke up from this dream, it was a nightmare, just like in the Buddha Temple, the two of them could have drunk and talked, but she was thinking about how to calculate him......
"Concubine Xi is delicate, I believe that she will definitely prepare one for the emperor."
Father-in-law Shui usually doesn't have anything unpleasant to say, and Qi Yan is happy to hear him speak, but only in the matter of Concubine Xi, Father-in-law Shui shouldn't have wiped honey on his mouth, seeing that the emperor didn't make a sound for a long time, Father-in-law Shui's face changed, and he asked tremblingly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Could it be that the minions' hands are heavy? ”
"I'm going to punish you for washing the toilet for two months."
Father-in-law's face changed greatly, and he quickly knelt in front of him, kowtowing and wiping his tears, "Your Majesty, the slave is loyal to you, why do you let the slave wash the toilet in a good manner......"
"Because your mouth really doesn't leak, I must let you taste it!"
Father-in-law Shui's face turned blue and pale, he had to go to the toilet for these two months, and he had never done such a dirty job since he was promoted to serve by the emperor's side.
"Your Majesty, think twice......"
Father-in-law Shui looked at Qi Yan pleadingly, tears were about to be squeezed out of his eyes, Qi Yan still said without changing his face: "Do you want to wash for three months?" ”
“………”
Father-in-law Shui was stunned for a moment, and the whole person froze in place as if he had eaten a scale, rolled out of the hall, and had to run to wash the toilet quickly.
As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and Father-in-law Shui is by the emperor's side, and he has always only said good things and not bad things, but he didn't expect to be punished by the emperor in this way.
And at this time, a tall figure came to the door of the imperial study, Qi Yan squinted his eyes slightly, thinking that the guy who pleaded for mercy came again, and said impatiently: "Didn't you go to wash the toilet?" How did you come back again? ”
"Weichen, see Your Majesty."
Qi Yan paused, listening to the voice should be Zhao Changan's, opened his eyes and sat upright, sure enough, it was him.
"Why are you here?"
"Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the minister walked in without prior notice."
"It's okay, tell me quickly, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Changan holds a straight fan in his hand, no matter where he goes, the fan does not leave his hand, and there is a piece of Hetian jade with bright and rich color hanging on his waist, in order to show the dignity of his identity.
Zhao Changan was closer to Qi Yan, they had been in contact in private before, and it seemed that when they followed Hua Ziming and Zhong Yihan to send troops, Qi Yan had already bought him.
"Your Majesty is now in good health and peace in the country, it's time to choose a prince, lest he get into trouble in the future, and many princes are fighting for this, I believe this is also what the emperor does not want to see."
Zhao Changan lowered his head and said with a glance, after so many years, his face has not changed in any way, and he is still the same as before, with a very handsome face, and his ink-colored hair is tied behind with a ribbon. The long clothes are fluttering, like a fairy, not like the ministers who walk back and forth in the palace, there are many princesses, as well as young ladies, all of whom have a secret promise to him.
"It turns out that you are also for the position of the crown prince, and many ministers have already told me, but I feel that now I am middle-aged and strong, so I don't need to be in such a hurry to establish the crown prince."
"Your Majesty, the establishment of the crown prince can appease people's hearts, in this way, the ministers will not be privately speculating who will be the candidate for the prince."
Qi Yan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Whoever wants to guess can guess, I said, I am in the prime of life now, and I don't need to make a prince." ”
Zhao Changan was helpless for a while, it seemed that Qi Yan still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, the internal disputes were all because of the support for the prince, if he stood on the wrong team, the power of life and death in the future would be in the hands of the other party.
"If there's nothing to do, please step down, I want to rest and rest."
Zhao Changan raised his eyes, those amber tiger eyes did not have any emotion, he had enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the palace for many years, Qi Yan also promised him a lot of benefits in order to envelop him, but until now Zhao Changan is still alone, which makes Qi Yan very uneasy.
"By the way, Taifu is still single, I want to promise you a family affair, I don't know if you are willing?"
"The minister doesn't dare, but on the emperor's orders."
Zhao Changan's respectful appearance was also quite appreciated by Qi Yan, he rubbed his temples and walked down from the dragon chair.
